Description: Discover is a general audience science magazine. Many famous scientists, including Stephen Jay Gould, Jared Diamond, and Stephen Hawking, have contributed articles to it. It has been in print since 1980. While some of these issues may seem outdated, the topics are as interesting now as they were when they were published. Hindsight is always 20/20! The 74-page December 2015 issues' cover story is: Hunt For the First Stars - The Archaeology of Stars - Just as fossils in the earth tell the story of our world, the oldest stars tell the story of our universe. Other articles include: Great Expectations - A group of students, their teachers' expectations of success, the lie that made it all possible. Now a classic psychology experiment's results are being replicated without a dose of deception. Track & Field - Although it may seem an antiquated skill, tracking wildlife is more essential than ever for conservation efforts. The Crazy Experiment That Won a Nobel - Crazy Heart - In the 1920s, a young German physician defied orders and experimented on himself, hoodwinking a nurse to do it. But the medical breakthrough he pioneered paid off in the long run. COLUMNS & DEPARTMENTS Editor's Note - A Tangible Offer - Have an idea for a new column? If we pick it, why, we'll buy you a drink!The Crux - Learn what happens when we get used to eating spicy food, and how a group of computer nerds helped epileptic patients predict seizures. Plus, get the lowdown on great books to give for the holidays and more.Big Idea - Storms on Other Worlds - Lightning can change a planet's atmosphere and even create the beginnings of life. Scientist hope to catch some electrifying glimpses beyond our solar system.Vital Signs - Lather, Rinse, Repeat - A man insists on staying at the hospital overnight, even though he seems well. But it finally starts making sense when he reveals why he can't go home.Notes From Earth - Pollution Prediction in the Rainforest - High in the tropical treetops, ecologists are learning how climbing air pollution levels will alter the fate of the rainforest flora.History Lessons - The Care and Feeding of Astronauts - Eating from a can might sound unappealing, but early astronauts would call that a step up. From tubes to pouches to freeze-dried meals, the first space explorers endured some dreadful food.Out There - Why Pluto Matters - The Passion of the Pluto-Philes - The New Horizons spacecraft completed its Pluto flyby, but reaching the edges of our solar system only opened more avenue for exploration.20 Thing You Didn't Know About...Lava - If the floor really is lava, you'd better hope it's of the pahoehoe variety - and the lighter the color, the better. The cover price for this magazine is $5.99. Due to changes in USPS policy and a recent postage rate increase, I have had to raise my shipping costs. I have additional magazines available for sale on E-Bay. I will apply a shipping discount on multiple purchases. Please contact me if you are interested.
